Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Whole milk (optional for consistency)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth frosting.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice, and continue to beat until fully incorporated and the frosting is fluffy.
If the frosting is too thick, add whole milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Spread the frosting generously over warm cinnamon rolls or any baked goods of your choice.
Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
